    Cools quickly with strong, adjustable airflow, but is louder and much pricier than comparable fans.

    WIREDHands-on review

    Highly customizable airflow and a striking look, with power equal to normal tower fans, but a jet-engine-like whine even at low speeds and a need for careful angling to feel the breeze from afar.

    Expert ReviewsHands-on review · 2025

    The pivoting design is clever and works well for bedroom cooling, but the fan is noisy at higher speeds, draws a lot of power and costs a lot.
